The report includes an account from a diver named Brian Coen who was spearfishing near Barnegat Inlet at the time.

Experts believe the tsunami conditions may have been caused by a collapse of a section of the continental shelf, sending wave energy towards the shore.

(Editor's Note: Though news of the tsunami surfaced on Monday, June 24, the events referenced in the report happened on June 13. It is in no way connected to severe weather that moved through the area on the 24th.)
